The entrance to Cole Harbour is protected by Rainbow Haven Beach, a barrier beach which forms a lagoon on the inland side.

Measuring approximately 4 kilometres east to west and 3 kilometres north to south, the harbour is shallow and rocky. Virtually the entire shoreline and the harbour itself are protected by the provincial government as the Cole Harbour - Lawrencetown Coastal Heritage Provincial Park.

The centre of the harbour is divided by a man-made feature; during the late 19th century a railway was constructed from Dartmouth to Musquodoboit Harbour and crossed the width of Cole Harbour on a 3 kilometre causeway. Rail service was abandoned by CN Rail during the 1980s and the corridor has been converted to a rail trail as part of the Trans Canada Trail.

House Of Flutes

HOUSE OF FLUTESInnocence, a sensless death,Dying angel on my nest.The purest blood touches my mouth,Rest the peace I'll break apart tonight.In that trail left behind,I'll hunt all trought the night.They will feel what burns insideA man who's filled with hate in heart.But I can't, I'm just alone,This war is my last one.I must find the home they said,To hear the song of braves.There's no honor or compassion,In a battle for revenge.There's so many in my way,Moanga will lead me again.A hundred days of war,Now I have won, it's done.Iara is calling me to meet her in the sunset.ChorusWhen all the faith on me,Seems to fall on ground.I stand tall now I've foundThe House of Flutes.The love is lost betweenVictory and pain.I whisper the last song,
